posting for a mate,

after having FMIC, BOV, filter, and GTR fuel pump installed by Fussy's, the car is running like absolute crap.

its making NO power! Boost comes on real quick (11psi) but you feel NO pull, and it breaks down and pops out the exhaust etc etc, and just wont rev cleanly.

Ive considered things like coil packs etc and have done the usual check for leaks, cracked hoses etc etc and found everything looking fine.

just wondering who can recommend a good place in sydney to take it to for prob solving and a good dyno tune. Ive rang UAS but they are fully booked out, and Croydon's tuner is currently away.

or, if anyone thinks they know the prob or any tests i can do, please let me know.

(fussy's also did a service with oil and plugs but i dont think they did much by way of tuning as they have no dyno)

Also, The GTR32 Fuel pump installed is louder than my bosch 044 pump!! is this normal?

thanks for any help!

i dont have anything to check the A:F, could be the prob.

def not the BOV leaking as i checked it (could see the valve closed as its a megasonic Tsmart and its wound in tight, and even put the stockie BOV back on.

why does a bigger pump make it richer? i understand it flows more fuel, but isnt pressure what its all about? it has std press reg.

When i took off my microtech making 200rwkw and put the std ecu back in to make 170'srwkw, still running the o44, it still ran as normal, no richer....?

any ideas on whos good to take it to?

Just a few things you can check.

What type of filter has been installed and how much oil is on it?

Pull it off and check to see the AFM hasn't been coated in oil.

Then i would look at the fuel pump because it's very likely that it's running rich.

I have a 32gtst with pod, ic, exhaust and boost controller running up to 16psi on the stock fuel pump. Got an AF meter just incase but it sits in the full rich zone all the time when boosting so it isn't underfuelled (and this is the stock fuel system with no mods).

I'd also check your plugs and see if they are really black (and i mean REALLY black, slightly blackened is good), which will indicate very rich running.

Also when checking the plugs make sure they have the correct gap and that the temp range of the plug is suited to ur engine.

How could the GTR pump affect anything?

Isnt the Fuel Reg there to control that?

I thought having a bigger pump does not mean more fuel is pumped into the motor.

But it could be a buggered fuel reg, and the car is over fueling.

hmm.. to me though - wouldn't it be that if you have a slightly faulty pump, the fuel pressure isn't constant and thats the whole problem.. therefore while tuning on the old pump you'd try and dump more fuel in there to compensate at certain points (even if it was just appearing to fix the leaning out).. Then once a new pump is in, and everything is back to normal, you're still running the ratios for the old pump, which were actually overcompensating??? As a result its richer than it now needs to be?

The stock computer will compensate slightly for a lazy pump when running around with a fairly stock car, it's when you start to max out the injector duty cycle that you start to see problems with the stock pump not maintaining fuel pressure and leaning out.

The problem with running a bigger pump is that the stock regulator/injector combination can't flow enough to maintain stock fuel pressure at idle and light throttle with the higher flow of the new pump.

Have you reset the computer? Just disconnect the battery and hold down the brake pedal for a few minutes with the igtition switched to on. Then reconnect and the computer will revert to it's base program and readjust to the new conditions. Simple, but I know it's fixed a few other peoples problems.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
